are they encountering issues on the educational fronts here? >> guest: so, that's a great question. the consumer enrollment is, i think, one of the greatest question marks right now. you've got the technical aspects rolling ahead, but the question is if you build it, will they come? are the people going to sign up? like you said, the kaiser foundation poll found two-thirds of the uninsured, majority of americans, don't know what the law does for them, and that makes it hard for them to get excited. we're starting to see the push. we're starting to see the federal government designate money to send out what are called assisters or navigators to go into the communities to get people more aware of what they can expect of -- what's actually available to them. a lot of people, there's actually a lot of opportunity now. they are going to be getting either -- they may be eligible for basically free health insurance under an expansion of medicaid, the government's program for low income individuals, or they may be qualified for a subsidy on the exchange, but there is a limited funding avail

president, baltimore, like many other major cities, has struggled to educate its children. recent statistics indicate that the number of third graders reading below grade level in baltimore is double the state average. this is especially troubling in light of the numerous national studies showing for every six students who are not reading at the third grade level, one will not graduate. across the united states, students with good school libraries learn better and score higher an standardized tests than their peers in schools without libraries. we have an program, academy bonds that is available to help school districts in areas such as improving their libraries, and since 2001 baltimore city has used those funds and recently we extended the program through 2013. academy bonds are important, but much more needs to be done to help our students. so let me share with my colleagues a wonderful initiative, the baltimore elementary and middle school barlibrary project, which is bringing in additional partners to maximize the resources available. the mary and janet wineberg founda

those members of newtown, connecticut, who lost 20 precious, beautiful children and six brave, great educators. they were keeping vigil as the senate turned its back on them. and despite their profound and harrowing loss, those parents, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, grandmothers and grandfathers have kept faith. they have spent the last four months tirelessly and relentlessly advocating for changes and reforms in our gun laws so that that loss they suffered will not have been in vain. and still, the united states senate failed in its responsibility in turning its back on them. i don't want to relive december 14 when i went to sandy hook and heard and saw the grief and pain of those parents and loved ones as they emerged from the firehouse. on that unspeakable and unimaginable horror, i don't want to see again. yesterday was demoralizing and discouraging but not defeating, because ultimately this reform will be delayed but not denied. because of the massacre of 20 innocent children and their teachers will bring us ultimately to our senses, but so will the violenc
